Thanks so far guys -

Not sure I care for the red stripe around the grille though  :sick: (my car's sort of silvery green colour)

Its an '89 (G plate)

It looks like an early G reg model in which case it would have come with small bumpers (big bumpers came in halfway through G-reg). This is also noticable because your big bumpers are black/unpainted and big bumpers were always body coloured.

my project has an original grill for early 89 (F plate)

GTI badge has gone walkies tho  :angry:

also small bumper GTI's have a red "go faster" stripe running right above the plastic door strips.

plus it should have a black vinyl stripe running in the recessed section running down the length of the car (above the door strips)... mine has started to peel off...!

I don't think a semi will give the same results

Thanks guys!

Between y'all and Taxiboy I think I know what's what now!

Crevice - your project looks to be same colour as mine - or at least very similar, still cant get my head round the thin red trims on a car that colour tho!

Anyhow, looks like I've got a fair bit to do on her, mostly 'cosmetic' stuff and finding the right bits n pieces -  but I'll get there with help from my man when I get back to UK (!)
Watch this space I guess ....  :wink:
